For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

A shake down ride to make sure everything is in order. Needs a little more air in the forks, and I need to add lights to my list, otherwise all good.

1.90 so yeah that’s about 11 feet in American I think :)

How dare you suggest I'm American, sir!

I should have said Imperial but I don’t think there is an empire any more. Probably there’s another name?

Now I have been researching feet and inches (and barleycorns and miles and furlongs). And I also discover that America uses the US Customary System because of course they have never been part of an empire. I learn something everyday.
